In the paper, first results of development tests of the technique for automated identification of dangerous subsurface phenomena such as soils overflooding, self-heating and ignition of organic matters (peat, hay, straw etc.) on dried swamps are presented. The technique is based on the data of remote sensing of the Earth. Information from ACRS-30 remote sensing complex mounted on board aircraft-laboratory AN-30 was processed. The complex includes a scanning thermal IR radiometer (TIR, Δλ=8-14 μm) and a classical side-looking radar (SLR, λ=8 mm). Data were obtained during one day at successive (day-and-night) surveillance of the same test area in Chernigov region (Ukraine). For technique implementation, the procedure of clusterization of radar and radiometer remote sensing data in 3D information attributes space was used. Respectively, intensities of received microwave radar signals and day and night IR radiation were chosen as coordinates for information attributes space. Six clusters, which can be reliably separated in 3D information attributes space and confidently correlate (for chosen area) with the results of expert original data estimation were eliminated. Results obtained in the regime of automated separation confirm good potential of the proposed technique for remote sensing of large areas.
Keywords: multidimensional data clusterization, overmoistered soil, organic substances low-temperature oxidation and self-heating zones, thermal IR and radar microwave remote sensing data
